Tourism

From UNESCO-listed heritage and Mediterranean streets to spectacular national parks and the islands of the Adriatic, Šibenik offers plenty to discover before and after CAMS 2027.

Discover Šibenik

Šibenik is a historic Mediterranean city where centuries of heritage meet the Adriatic way of life. Wander through the narrow stone streets of the Old Town, explore its impressive fortresses and enjoy the lively waterfront, local cuisine, and views across the Šibenik archipelago.
The city is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the magnificent Cathedral of St. James, built entirely of stone, and St. Nicholas’ Fortress, an outstanding example of Venetian maritime defence situated at the entrance to St. Anthony’s Channel.

Explore Croatia’s Natural Wonders

Šibenik is ideally positioned for discovering some of Croatia’s most remarkable natural landscapes. Krka National Park, famous for the Krka River, waterfalls and Mediterranean scenery, is within easy reach of the city and makes an excellent half-day or full-day excursion.

A little further offshore lies Kornati National Park, an extraordinary archipelago of 89 islands, islets and reefs spread across 220 km². Its dramatic landscapes and clear Adriatic waters make the Kornati a particularly memorable destination for sailing, swimming and exploring the Croatian coast.

Experience the Adriatic

Make your visit to CAMS 2027 an opportunity to experience the Croatian Adriatic beyond the conference programme. The Šibenik coastline is surrounded by islands, secluded bays and traditional coastal settlements, while nearby Zlarin, Krapanj, Prvić, Kaprije and Žirje offer an easy introduction to island life.

Enjoy a boat trip through St. Anthony’s Channel, discover local food and wines, swim in the Adriatic or simply spend an evening walking along Šibenik’s waterfront. For those staying longer, Šibenik is also an excellent base for exploring the wider Dalmatian coast and hinterland.
